U.S. Revokes All South Sudanese Visas Amid Growing Tensions
On Saturday, Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, announced that the U.S. will take back all visas from people holding South Sudanese passports. He accused the South Sudan government of not helping the U.S. properly send back its citizens when needed. Rubio said, “Every country must help when someone needs to return home.” He also added that the U.S. will stop giving new visas to South Sudanese citizens to prevent them from coming to the U.S.
Things are not calm in South Sudan right now. The country’s situation is shaky, and fighting between government soldiers and opposition groups has been getting worse. Recently, the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, warned that South Sudan is on the edge of falling into another civil war. He said the country is facing a major security problem because of increased fighting and political chaos, especially after the government arrested First Vice President Riek Machar last week. -
Boycott Walmart: Join the Movement This April!
A group called the People’s Union USA is planning to boycott Walmart for a week, from April 7 to April 14. This has become a trend as people in the U.S. are getting more active about how companies handle issues like fairness and equality.
The People’s Union already organized a boycott against Nestlé and Amazon. Just recently, on February 28, they did a one-day economic blackout that affected many stores, including Walmart. Another blackout is planned for April 18.
The People’s Union USA does not consider itself a political party. They say they are a movement to help people gain control over the economy and the government. Their Walmart boycott will focus on Walmart’s websites, their brand products, health services, delivery services, and more.
In February, Walmart noticed a 5% drop in website visits, but this might be more about how people buy things these days than any specific change.
The People’s Union USA shared their thoughts: “No matter your politics, we can all agree that corporate greed and corruption hurt our country.”
This boycott comes after Walmart lost $22 billion in value recently. CEO Doug McMillon warned that if customers lose trust in Walmart, it could hurt the entire retail industry, especially if the economy keeps getting worse.
They encourage people to shop locally and wait for items if they can’t find them nearby: “We are cutting the cord.”
Some users on X (formerly Twitter) shared their thoughts, with one person saying, “I just did a boycott of Amazon, and now I’m on to the next one: Nestlé and Walmart.” -

In a recent chat with Komal Nahta on his YouTube channel, Game Changers, Amar opened up about how much pressure he felt while making Stree 2. He said, “I worked very hard on this film with a lot of stress. There were many problems, and we completed it quickly. Now, I plan to take it easy for the next 3 to 4 months.” He also noted that people are very excited about his next project and are constantly asking when it will be released. Amar added, “I’m trying not to feel that pressure.”
Amar explained that making a sequel is always tough because people can be very critical. He and his writer, Niren Bhatt, prepared themselves for the challenges. He mentioned that when it came to special effects (VFX), it was hard to manage time. He said, “In the last 2 to 3 months, I didn’t sleep much because there was so much work to do.”
Since Stree 2 has been released, Amar is now catching up on sleep and feeling better.

Experts Warn: Global Recession Risks Rise Amid Trade Tensions
Global companies are worried about a potential recession in the US and around the world after President Donald Trump announced new tariffs (taxes on imports). These tariffs started a few days ago, and more will go into effect on April 9. China quickly responded with their own tariffs, leading to fears of a trade war that might slow down the global economy.
JP Morgan, a big bank, recently raised the chances of a US recession to 60%, up from 40% last month. Other banks like S&P Global and Goldman Sachs also increased their predictions for a recession, noting that the economy isn’t doing well lately. Even HSBC mentioned that signs of a recession are growing, estimating a 40% chance of one by the end of the year.
The new tariffs affect many imports, but not those from Mexico and Canada. The White House claims it’s necessary to fix trade imbalances where foreign countries impose high taxes. After April 9, around 60 countries, including the EU, Japan, and China, will face even higher tariffs on US goods. In response, China plans to impose 34% tariffs on US products starting April 10 and will file a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO).
So what is a recession? In the US, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) looks at many factors beyond just GDP (the total value of all goods and services) to define a recession. They say a recession happens when there’s a significant and widespread drop in economic activity lasting more than a few months.
Recessions can be caused by several things, like a sudden spike in key production costs (like oil) that makes everything more expensive. They can also happen when government policies to reduce inflation are too harsh, leading to less spending. Financial instability, like what happened during the 2007 financial crisis, is another major cause. If people and businesses take on too much debt, they might cut back on spending, which further slows the economy.
Overall, major slowdowns in big countries like the US, Germany, or Japan can lead to problems for their trading partners.
